For the first time, Martha’s Vineyard sent a girls team to the Massachusetts youth soccer Tournament of Champions. The MV United under-18 girls played in the under-19 division by virtue of their position in the final South Coast standings. They played hard, adjusting to new game plans and positions, and tied both Dracut and Auburn before falling to eventual tournament champion Tyngsboro. The team was just one goal away from advancing to the semi-finals, a tremendous accomplishment for a team of 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old girls playing in an under-19 division.
